I have no problem giving. But I was raised in a lot of man made rules, outright lies and brainwashing - so I'm having to learn a lot on my own. I want to do what is right Biblically.
It feels strange not giving because it was beaten into me. But I can't find it in scripture. Any advice?

Tithing was for the support of the Levits who did not have any inheritance in the land, for their work of maintenance and upkeep of the temple. It was also used to aid the poor, widows and strangers in the land. It was ALWAYS and ONLY paid in livestock and agriculture. So if you were a carpenter in old testiment times you were NOT required to tithe. This all changed with the passing of the old covenant and the new. It's very simple really.
Those who insist that we must tithe cannot provide an explanation as to why it is NEVER taught in the New Testiment. The reason is simple. Giving IS taught in the New Testiment.
This has been discussed in depth many times here. Like here for instance.
